What makes a truly hideous tie? Is it the color? The shape? The presence of marine life? The truth is, there’s no one answer, which is why we’ve given you 10. It doesn’t matter how you knot it, ties don’t get much worse than this.

Check out 10 ties to avoid buying for Father’s Day.

Dolphin Tie

Dad’s going to have a hard time convincing people to save the dolphins when he’s walking around in one of these. eBay, $19.95

eBay

Greco-Roman Wrestling Tie

Look, we’re not knocking Greco-Roman wrestling, it’s just that some of those moves can be a little distracting on a tie. Seriously, that third move down? WildTies, $9.95

WildTies

Scalloped Tie

Scallops are great with a nice sear and a little bit of butter and lemon. They’re not so great on the sides of a tie. King Cart, prices may vary

King Cart

Salami Tie

How can a tie be so ugly and so delicious at the same time? This tie gets big points for artistic vision and execution. Unfortunately, it loses most of them for making us want to throw up. We recommend you make dad a salami sandwich instead. Anton Repponen, price not listed

Fish Tie

Would you wear a real fish around your neck? Here’s a tie you should have definitely thrown back into the water. Why not just take Dad fishing instead? Amazon, $19.95
